To My Home in the Heavens (A Miltonic Sonnet)

When I dream in the nighttime of heaven above

I dream of the angels inhabiting there

The Cherubs and Seraphim lovely and fair

Praising and honoring the Father with love

Their clothing so bright it shines like a dove

The love on their faces and the smiles that they wear

And their gold halo brilliant atop their light hair

Hands clean and pretty, no need for a glove

They speak oh so softly in voices so low

They never get tired so there's no need for rest

Their wings are so light when they fly through the air

Serving the Father and us mortals best

Who live out our lives, lives meant as a test

A test if we pass takes us home in the heavens.
